[TowerTalk] Screw Anchors (soil conditions)

[Carrington, Walter]

The effectiveness of screw anchors depends on soil conditions, 
which I know little about.  But there are people who do.  
I've seen maps of soil conditions of my hometown;  
ask at your town hall, county seat, etc.
Ask contractors, septic system contractors, building inspectors,
electric/telephone co. workers, or whoever in your area should
know about soils.  I suspect in some parts of the country soil 
conditions are very uniform.  In most of New England the biggest
problem is getting the things further than 3 inches into the ground.

P.S.  My screw anchors are strictly temporary and for only 30 or 40' of
